Chapter 483: Security experts invited by the White House

As time began to get closer and closer to the challenge, the number of visits to the White House website skyrocketed, a considerable part of the traffic came from China, and the other part came from all over the world, and there is no doubt that these people visited the White House website, not because they were interested in the content of the White House website, but because they were interested in chn_honker challenge to Western hackers, and the White House website was the battlefield of this challenge.

As the main battlefield, the White House website can be described as a lot of attention, but this kind of attention is not what they want, because no one wants to give up their territory to outsiders as a battlefield, therefore, the White House website was invaded This quickly caused a lot of commotion in the White House, and later, even the president was alarmed, of course, in the end, all the pressure was transferred to the White House official in charge of website operations, and this official will naturally pass on the pressure to the technical director of the website.

"Don't let them come to our website and do whatever they want, I don't care what method you use, you must drive that chn_honker away from me!"

In the office, an old man in a suit yells at the three guys standing in front of him, and his angry expression makes people feel that if possible, he will throw the three men in front of him through the window, or he will swallow them alive.

The three men kept their heads down and didn't say a word, sweating profusely, until the old man's roar stopped, and one of the men wearing gray suits and a pair of wide-rimmed glasses said cautiously: "Your Excellency Thomson, now the website server is firmly occupied by chn_honker, that person is very skilled, we have exhausted all means, we can't take back the management from him, so I suggest that we should temporarily shut down the website service and repair it offline." ”

"Don't want to close the website, Your Excellency the President has instructed, the whole world is watching us at this time, if the Internet is disconnected, it means that we are showing weakness, this situation must not be allowed to happen, so, we must not disconnect the Internet, if you can't solve this incident, when the incident is over, I will take you to personally apologize to Mr. President, and then ask you to leave, understand." The supervisor flatly denied the glasses technician's request to disconnect.

"Okay, we'll try." The glasses technician bowed his head in frustration and said.

"In order to help you, the White House has brought in a cybersecurity expert for you, and he will help you, good luck, go back." The Director said, waving his hand.

The Director's words made the eyes of the glasses technician and his two companions light up, and they greeted the Director and left in a hurry, probably to the safety expert who had seen the Director earlier.

Because the White House website is the official public information release platform of the United States, some major decisions from the White House will be announced from this website for the first time, to a certain extent, this website is a face of the US government on the Internet, therefore, the management of the website is a very critical thing, the White House has a management team of up to dozens of people, Brian, Tovsky and Mickey are the three directors of the website operation who are mainly responsible for technology, And the old man just now is the person in charge of the entire website operation.

Because the administrator authority of the website was temporarily taken over by the chn_honker, the operation of the website was temporarily in a state of pause, and everyone's attention was almost focused on Brian's three technical directors, fortunately, the server room and the website operation office were not in the same place, although they were able to control the server in the office, but at this moment, they did not return to the office, but went directly to the server room to avoid direct contact with their colleagues.

After entering the server room, the three Brian saw a person sitting in the computer room, a tall and thin middle-aged man wearing a cowboy hat and a shabby denim suit, he was sitting in front of a terminal on the server at the moment, staring at the constantly scrolling information on the terminal, ignoring the arrival of the three.

"Excuse me, sir, are you the security expert hired by Director Thomson?" So Brian walked up behind the cowboy and asked cautiously.

The man still didn't look up, and his eyes didn't take off the computer screen, he just waved his hand behind him, but the general meaning was that the three of them understood, and they should be quiet.

Seeing this, the three of them didn't dare to disturb the man anymore, but they stood behind him curiously, looking at the information scrolling on his computer screen, trying to see what the person was doing, but the information didn't seem to be a text prompt, but something similar to code, so that they didn't know what they were seeing in the end.

Another ten minutes passed, and seeing that the time agreed between chn_honker and fly007 was about to come, the cowboy man still didn't mean to talk to them, so the three of them couldn't hold their breath again.

"Hello sir, five minutes to go." Brian cautiously called the cowboy again.

This time, the cowboy man came back to his senses, turned to look at the three of them, and asked, "When is the time?" ”

"chn_honker the appointment time with fly007." Brian said.

"Oh, actually, they've already started." The cowboy man pointed to the information scrolling on the computer screen and said.

"It's already started!" Brian and the other three were shocked.

"Yes, fly007 didn't abide by the time agreement, and began to compete with chn_honker for the administrator rights of the website server thirty minutes ago, but so far, chn_honker defense is very good, although fly007 attacks very strongly, but there is still no way to break through chn_honker's defense for the time being." Cowboy boyfriend said.

"It started thirty minutes ago, why didn't we notice it?" Brian hurriedly asked.

"You've even lost your administrator privileges, and their current battles are all going on at the system level, so of course you won't find out." The cowboy man explained, his tone was a little playful, and his gaze at the three of them was also a little contemptuous, making the faces of the three of them a little feverish.

"You must be the security expert hired by Director Thomson, right?" Brian confirmed again.

"Yes, my name is Frank. Anbar, the old man from Thomson, invited him. The cowboy sat there and nodded to the three of them and introduced himself.

"Is there any way you can now wrest admin privileges from chn_honker and get rid of him?" Brian asked hopefully as he heard Frank introduce himself.

"Why drive away?" Unbeknownst to him, Frank asked a question that surprised the three Brians.

"You ......" Brian actually wanted to say, please come, isn't it just to get you to drive chn_honker away, if you even have to ask us about this, then what do you want you to do, but when this came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, so that some words were choked.

"Mr. Frank, what software are you running on your computer?" Tovsky stepped forward, pointing to the information scrolling on the computer in front of Frank and asked.

"I'm tracking chn_honker, wouldn't it be better if I could catch this person?" Frank said.

"We've also tracked that guy back and found out that he used a very powerful technique to hide himself, so that we can't track him at all, how far has your tracking progressed now?" Brian asked.

"The tracking has just begun, and chn_honker you want to control the server here for a whole day, you will definitely be able to track him." Frank said.

Listening to Frank's words, the three of Brian looked at each other, and they all saw disappointment in each other's eyes, what they hoped was that Frank would drive chn_honker away so that they could keep their jobs, but Frank's interest was obviously not here, he was more interested in tracking chn_honker, judging from the tone of his voice, before tracking down chn_honker, he even hoped that chn_honker would stay on the White House website as long as possible.

"What, do you guys have a problem?" Frank asked, seeing the disappointment on the faces of the trio.

"Yes, I think our main task now is to take back the admin privileges from chn_honker, and to restore the site to normal as soon as possible, and we don't care too much about whether we can catch him, so, Mr. Frank, I hope you can do it according to our arrangement." Brian said.

"No, no, since Thomson invited me here, I have the final say here, I know you are worried that Thomson old man will fire you, but this is not my concern, but I can ask Thomson to intercede for you, I believe he will seriously consider my words." Frank said.

"But ......," Brian said, still a little reluctantly.

"It's nothing, it's up to me for the time being, this is the authority given to me by that old fellow Thomson, if you have any opinions, you can go to him now, if you don't want to go to him, stay and do what I tell you." Frank interrupted Brian with a wave of his hand.

"If it's Thomson's arrangement, then let's do it according to your arrangement, but I need to check with Thomson first, please understand." Brian said.

"Okay, okay, you go check and let these two lads stay and help me." Frank said, and at that moment, the flow of data on the computer in front of Frank suddenly stopped.

"Wait, the tracking may come to fruition." While talking to the three Brians, Frank kept looking at the computer screen out of the corner of his eye, so when the data flow stopped, he noticed it immediately, so he said happily, then turned to look at the computer screen, and no longer paid attention to the three Brians.
